Dialux - 3.14

| Feature | Dialux 3.14 | DIALux evo (modern) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Low to Medium. Feels like CAD software. | Steep. Scene-based logic is confusing for CAD natives. | | Geometry Creation | Basic but precise (boxes, cylinders). | Powerful but glitchy with complex intersections. | | Calculation Speed | Fast for large regular rooms. | Slower for large scenes due to full volume calculation. | | Single Luminaire Placement | Easy. Click and copy. | Over-engineered (requires "furnishing" logic). | | Report Generation | Simple HTML/Excel tables. | Beautiful photorealistic PDFs. | | BIM Integration | None (pre-BIM era). | Full IFC import/export. | | Stability | Rock solid. Crashes were rare. | Depends on GPU drivers. Demanding. |

: The software provides detailed analysis including lighting classes and energy efficiency metrics (IPEA/IPEI) to ensure projects meet official standards. Dialux 3.14
